Ethereum Whale Incurs $1.96 Million Loss, Keeps $100 Million Position Open

As the market declines, an Ethereum whale who closed a portion of their position with a loss of approximately $1.96 million is keeping an ETH position worth over $100 million open.

The account, tracked under the Machi label, closed part of its position about seven hours ago as the market retreated.
